Email Greetings: 10 Ways To Start Your Message Professionally

Next to your subject line, they’re the most important part of your email.

Why? Because they help determine if your email gets read in the first place. Your greeting becomes preview text next to your subject line, leading your recipient to decide — delete your email or give it a chance?

10. When You’re In The Back-And-Forth Of An Email Chain

If you’re deep into an email chain, there’s no need to continuously address or close out your email.

You know who you’re talking to.

We recommend ditching your email greetings altogether and getting to the point. Because when you’re sitting in what feels like the world’s longest email thread, you can bet that everyone appreciates the ability to cut to the chase.
